WebGL playground guide

Three looks

Each picture below was made in WebGL playground. The table under each one is the whole recipe, in the order it was set; everything not listed stays as the page opens. Press the preset first: it would undo settings made before it.

The scene moves all the time, so yours will differ in the detail.

A neon storm

The Hologram shader draws see-through stripes that scroll along the knot, so it reads as glowing light rather than a solid. The points trace a Lorenz attractor, and chromatic aberration and scanlines finish it like an old screen.

Raise Bloom back to 2 and Bloom threshold to 0.3, as the preset has them, and the knot melts into a pink glow.

A wireframe landscape

Wireframe draws only the edges of the terrain's faces, so the moving hills read as a green net. The fog fades the far side into the background, and the main shape floats above.

Turn Wireframe off and press Terrain again for solid hills with flat faces.

A fractal in normal colours

Every branch is a smaller copy of the one before, so the tree is a fractal. The Normal map shader colours each face by the way it points, so faces turned the same way share a colour, pink, blue or pale green, whatever the lights do.

The fractal takes the shader when you press Fractal; pick another shader, then press Fractal again to see it.
